By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

DEVELOPING

A fertilizer plant in Union Mills, Indiana has exploded killing at least one person.

Investigators say the explosion occurred at a feed, grain and fertilizer co-op around 1:30pm. One person has been confirmed dead, but reports say that others at the plant made it out safety. The explosion caused a fire, but crews report that the fire has been extinguished.

There have been no evacuations in the area.

Treating Sheep For Lice!

Video: Treating Sheep For Lice!

We are treating our sheep for lice today at Ewetopia Farms. The ewes and rams have been rubbing and scratching, plus their wool is looking patchy and ragged. Itchy sheep are usually sheep with lice. So, we ran the Suffolk and Dorset breeding groups through the chutes and treated them all. This treatment will have to be done again in two weeks to make sure any eggs that hatched are destroyed too. There was a lot of moving of sheep from pen to pen around the sheep barn but by all the hopping and skipping the sheep were doing, I think they enjoyed the day immensely! We hope you do too!
